Once upon a time writers actually took the time to investigate their "tools", like flying to Hawaii and sitting down with a psychologist in a small cafe and going over the numbers if you must. Not everyone is in a New York state of mind. Once you Once Upon a time it speaks to narrowness.
This comment looks like a markov chain to me.
Was it true that people were happy waiting 2 seconds for a webpage 10 years ago ? The unrewarding theory is still genius nonetheless. The faster the worse ?
For me it's a combo between this /and/ just people's attitude - it's fine if you want to be slow, but you have to be considerate of others. I wouldn't be mad if you were walking slowly on the side of the street - probably wouldn't even notice - but I'll be mad if you're walking slowly in the middle. It often costs nothing to be considerate, and it makes life more pleasant for everyone!
Sometimes I like going for a walk with friends, we'll walk slowly and next to another so we can talk and enjoy the beautiful weather. And you expect us to walk behind another along the right side of the sidewalk?
Please consider my priorities before calling me inconsiderate!

I was waiting much more than 2 seconds, 20 years ago. But you'd do things like disable images to speed things up.
And always, always, try and walk on the side so others can pass easily!

Whenever I read about people considered to be inconsiderate, I wonder: did anyone bother to make this clear to the "inconsiderate" people in question?

You're being pretty inconsiderate yourself! You expect everyone else to constantly make an effort to get out of your way and don't consider how your rush is impeding others!

There was a time, especially on older, slower Windows, that people would stab and swipe feverishly at the icon on the screen, resulting in multiple instances of the app when it finally emerged from the Stygian depths of the HD, and many copies of the icon on the desktop, since swiping served to copy the icon.

* considerate: walking in the middle, but fast
* considerate: walking on the side
* considerate: walking slowly or multiple people abreast, when there's enough room
* considerate: walking slowly or multiple people abreast, when there's no room, but paying attention behind you
Really, you (in the general sense here) have all these easy options to be nice, but you'll refuse even the most minor inconvenience?
Also, I'm not being inconsiderate for wanting to get somewhere - that's what most roads are /made for/. Roads made for leisurely strolling are made wide anyway. And it's not like I'm ramming through - I also do my best to avoid bothering the people I'm passing by. I'm taking the effort, so why shouldn't you? Inconsiderate would be me pushing through or telling you to make way when there's already room.
Sometimes a simple "scuse me", without even a frustrated tone, elicits the grumpiest responses so mostly I just walk slowly behind and don't even bother asking.
Anyway, this is longer than I even thought I would consider this issue!
